Nightly News

Newscaster, Newscaster,
What should I do?

Listening to you
Brings on the flu!

Newscaster, Newscaster,
Read me the news,

All it can do,
Is give me the blues!

Me too!! Don't you wish there was a channel for "good news exclusively"??? Just once in awhile, it would be refreshing to only listen to the good things in this world!! :)

Made me chuckle James, in the UK - the media have been blamed for over hyping the recent flu situation. It seems to be their trait to incite panic, great poem>>James

So true James, when I listen to the nightly news it is a constant reminder of how the world is in chaos. Great write my friend!
